What clients say about the cupping here
“I've experienced tremendous improvement in both conditions; when I started working with Tara, I was afraid that cortisone and surgery might be in my very near future.”
“She listened to my struggles and gave me concrete, easy-to-understand guidance, while keeping my treatment plan flexible as I developed new symptoms, routines, found myself in new circumstances, etc.”
“I even sent my partner to her who is nervous about needles, and she left feeling totally comfortable and satisfied with the session!”
“Her training, experience and dedication are what makes her a great practitioner.”
“My husband and I had been trying to conceive for about 7 months before my first visit without any luck and I think setting up a good foundation through Tara's recommendations helped our journey.”
From the reviews
…She helped relieve my neck and shoulder tension with acupuncture , massage and cupping , and also addressed a few other health issues with needle work , but also prescribing Chinese herb mixtures. We are very grateful and cannot recommend Tara enough.
Simply the best! I came in with two main goals, and Tara was able to meet them both. Thanks to her, I’m finally on my way to recovery. She’s skilled, attentive, and truly effective. Booking is easy, and her Durham location is super convenient. Definitely ask about her appointment packages — they offer great savings.
I can't recommend Tara Rado and Durham Integrative Health highly enough! I've been working Tara for several months now for a combination of hip pain as well as arthritis in my right thumb. It's been a great experience; she's a gifted practitioner who takes time to listen and then tailor treatments accordingly.
Tara is amazing and I can’t recommend her enough! I have been struggling with chronic sciatica. It has lingered on and off years. After an MRI and seeing multi specialist nothing was helping. They even suggested surgery. Which I was not willing to do. Finally I came to see Tara. We created a plan.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
